Alas, I am selling my NIKON R10.

it. All this to the chagrin of my financial manager (WIFE). So I must part with the R10.

And what does your wife think of this webshop you seem to run with your personal cameras? With garantees and all.

You seem to be implying ...

Alas, I am selling my NIKON R10. It is a great kit that deserves a good new home. So here is the heads up. It is on ebay:

I recently got a great deal on a CP16R. Too good to pass up and of course I ...

A super 8 society is a great idea. Count me in. I'll be happy to provide a link on my website once there is a site to link to. I would also be willing to offer a society member discount.

There is not really anything special about the the original key. A old credit card cut to fit will work fine. If yot want an original one, I may have an xtra.

Many batteries for RC cars are 7.2 volt. Not a bad option for the Beaulieu. I used an RC battery on my Beaulieu R16 with great results.

Great looking footage. The tobin unit seems to yield nice results. Fill us in on the details. What camera/lens and what stock(s) did you use.

Thanks one and all for the comments / feedback, much appreciated and very helpful.

Here are some quick answers to questions:

At this point the only camera models that I am reconditioning are the Nikon 8X and the Nikon super zoom 8. Yes it is possible to get an 8X for $25.00 every now and again. I ...

Well here goes. I have created a website wherein I will be selling used and reconditioned super 8 cameras.

Although I've been posting for a while I've never really provided any details about myself. I am a cinematographer and former union camera assitant. Most of my time over the last several ...

I saw one of these twice in a pawn shop in toronto. As this one is from ontario, it could be the one. The guy wanted $700.00us. Regrets, should have bought it.

Wilcam developed these with the TV news industry in mind. Never caught on and not many were made. The choice of the minolta D10 is curious ...

I agree, the D10 and D12 are great. Very under rated and valued. The D12 is right up there with the canon 1014 and a bit below the nikon R10. People tend to shy away from the minoltas. I can not figure out why.

As for the low price. The issue with the highspeed power pack is one reason. The other ...

My wife says I've got to clear "our" office of some of the clutter (mine). This camera is very clean.

I saw one of these in a pawn shop in toronto in late winter 1995. The guy wanted $700.00US. I was in Toronto again in late 96 and the guy still wanted $700.00US. It looked to be a minolta autopak 8 D10 with a mini mitchell mag on top. I have never seen one of these since.

I thought it was just me. I stopped in a family owned camera shop recently looking for a super 8 take up reel for my goko tc-20. Me: Do you have any super 8 takeup reels lying around? The counter guy: "oh no..., we have n't stocked that stuff in years" I understand demand is low to put kindly. But ...

I have a Nikon 8x that has a wobbly lens. It seem to be coming loose from the mounting area. I've decided to completely strip the camera down to it's parts. Following the instuctions on the super8wiki I now have the camera in two parts. Pretty simple so far. The rear portion contains the movement ...

Great news for Beaulieu owners. Cheaper than the Film Group unit. No more battery issues. It accepts the tobin milliframe control. What's not to like.
